Mom will wean them herself , you can offer at around 4 weeks of age high grade puppy diet( canned) mashed with warm water so it is like a pablum and you should be feeding the mom ,puppy food as well. The pups will not be fully weaned til around 8 weeks or so.Talk to your vet.

Most mothers will wean on their own. Give her about 8 weeks to do so, if she is having a difficult time with it then you can interfere by giving the puppies moist puppy chow and milk or water. show them the food and try and get them to taste it. nature will take care of the rest

The mom will wean them, true, but we always started them on moist puppy food around five or six weeks so that by seven or eight weeks when they are weaned, they are well started on puppy food.

The mother will wean them, you don't have to interfer. They will be fully weaned and ready to be adopted out, at 8-12 weeks of age.
Do not adopt them out before they are 8 weeks old.

I know of some people who started at about 3 weeks but this sounds kind of early!

The mom will usually do it on her own, you should'nt have to worry about it.
